“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches...

Exactly this. This is why I despise it when men refuse to have a conversation with me about these issues and instead play dumb.

Fun Times In Microaggression Land
7 Men and 1 Woman (myself) in the room.
Male Colleague 1: (serving food to me) Ladies first!
Male Colleague 2: But there’s more of us, that’s sexism!

Okay, writing about a world that uses entirely...

Awesome and challenging and thrilling, but weird. And hard.
And yet, satisfying.
Not weird at all, I do it all the time. I love binary busting.
The only weird, and bloody annoying, thing about it is editors who refuse to get a clue about what you’re doing.

Dear People reblogging and perpetuating the Gillian McKeith vs Nigella Lawson pictorial meme:
STOP FUCKING DOING THAT. It’s still body shaming and perpetuating myths around the morality of food and perceived beauty.
In promoting Fat Acceptance and Health At Every Size (HAES) YOU DON’T FUCKING USE THE SHAMING TACTICS AND BEAUTY MYTHS USED AGAINST FAT PEOPLE. Or even people who...

imagine you sit in front of a fireplace. you read and beside you there is a cup with something hot in it. what would that be in your case: tea, coffee or hot chocolate? Oolong tea.
if an author gave you the chance to rewrite or to change the fate of a book character, who would you chose? I would not kill off Rohan in Melanie Rawn’s Sunrunner series. Sioned had WAY too...

I like Lady Gaga. A lot. I like how she plays with gender expectations and sexuality.
What I don’t like is how she’s working with Terry Richardson.
I’ve been seeing a lot of promotion for the book she’s done with Skeevy Uncle Terry, and I can’t help but think of the message that she is sending to young girls: that if it’s ok for her to work with a possible...

Your Daily Dose of Media Endorsed Patriarchal...

Yes, that is the first line of the article. Here you go ladies, your daily dose of body and lifestyle shaming!

I keep seeing Stephen Fry popping up on my dash
And I just want to say as much as I respect his intelligence, wit, struggles with depression and homophobia, I still haven’t forgiven him for his massive misogynist spew last year. His perceived notions about female sexual power, and how and why we use it is so broken, and he’s only ever given one of his sneering, intellectual burgoisie faux apologies post-flounce.

Russian bill would fine openly gay LGBT people →

gaywrites:
Legislators in St. Petersburg, Russia tentatively approved a bill that would fine any gay or lesbian person who openly “professed their sexual orientation.”
More specifically, the bill would outlaw gay pride parades or other LGBT events that could be seen by minors, because it equates homosexuality with pedophilia. However, this effectively bans any public displays...

Me: OMG the media are sexist trolling today.
Male Colleague: Then don’t read it. You’ll be so much happier.
Me: But systemic sexism in the media will still exist. Not looking won’t solve anything.

Me: G. T. F. O.

And in chemistry class I was talking to my friend, Jack, about a gay pride festival I went to. My teacher, stupid nosy bitch, decides she wants to join in on the conversation. She asks me what I’m talking about so I turned around and her reaction was to make a noise of utter disgust. She asked me to go to the main office and get a different...

Say: “I read this thing in an article/blog which is a great example of that…”
Sounds Like: “I’m just making shit up to suit the situation because I can’t offer you a concrete example right now because it would take me a while to hunt that article down.”
All. The. Time.

-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.
